They are such interesting vehicles, steeped in history and innovation.  Panhard was originally called Panhard et Levassor, and was established as a car manufacturing concern by René Panhard and Émile Levassor in 1887.   The last Panhard passenger car was built in 1967.  After assembling 2CV panel trucks for Citroën in order to utilize capacity in the face of falling sales, and raising operating cash by selling ownership progressively to Citroën (full control as of 1965), in the fall of 1967 the civilian branch was absorbed by Citroën, and the automobile marque was retired. From 1968 on, Panhard has only made armored vehicles.
